Our family

Hi, welcome to our blog...thanks for stopping by! This blog is mostly about our life raising triplets and a singleton, but I do on occasion go off on a rant about this or that. We also have lots of crafts that we make with the kids, some pretty bomb recipes now and then too. In the summer of 2015 we bought 10 acres and started our small family farm. Lots of animals, dirt, work and fun! If you want to read our story from the beginning go to the Blog Archive and select April 2009. Also entry titles with a (*) have video clips...I try to keep them short and they are so fun to watch! Enjoy your stay, come again soon :)

2 weeks old

2 weeks-

A little late but here is an update on the babies.They are now 2 weeks and 2 days old, Hayden is 4lbs 4oz, Xander 4lbs 2oz, and Lily is 3lbs 13oz!!The lids are up on their isolettes and they are keeping themselves warm for the most part.Their feed amounts went up again and now they are getting like 36, 37, and 38MLs per feed.They had their first baths, and we now get to dress them....regular cribs are coming soon!!So are bottle/breast feeds, they have me trying to get each baby to breast twice a day and they hope to start bottle feedings by the end of this week. Hayden and Xander have very few Apnea or Brady episodes these days, and Xander is off the caffeine! Lily still has a few but they think everyones episodes may, in part, be due to reflux. My milk supply is getting better, I am getting 16oz per day and I think it is still going up. I am also only 20lbs up from my pre-pregnancy weight...must be all the pumping LOL They are still thinking Hayden and Xander, and maybe Lily, should be home in the next 2-3 weeks!!! Well I think that is about it for now.

Xander 2 weeks, first time in clothes.

Hayden and daddy, 2 weeks old.

Lily 2 weeks, and getting first bath with momma.

Bottles & Blowouts...2 weeks 4 days-We are now giving the babies bottles a few feedings per day, Hayden polished of her full 39ML's, Xander and Lily sucked down 38ML's each.Hayden then gave daddy a huge present LOL those preemie diapers sure don't hold much :)
